Dear Ms. Name: 

​

I am writing to express my interest in the School Counseling position within Central High School. I graduated from College in June 2009 and from University, with a Master’s degree in School Counseling, in August 2017. Currently, I am actively seeking a counseling position at a high school with a diverse and intellectually stimulating atmosphere and a focus on lifelong learning. 

​

As you will note from my resume, I have had rich experiences in a variety of both high school and middle school environments as a certified teacher. I am currently working at Middle School as a counselor, predominantly of seventh-grade students, all of whom have different strengths and abilities. I will continue to follow these students throughout their years at School.  

​

My teaching experience has enhanced my abilities as a qualified School Counselor. During my internship and Guest School Counselor position at High School, I was able to immerse myself in many environments including whole-group classroom instruction on post-secondary planning, meetings with parents in IEP or 504 consultations, small focus groups, and one-on-one support for students’ individual needs. I was able to work on closing the gap of students who did not complete college applications by working in small groups to help them finish. I was able to work as a Guest School Counselor at the beginning of the 2021–2022 school year helping sophomores navigate their transition to in-person learning as well as implement the Positivity Pledge to the school during Mental Health Awareness Month.

​

Currently, at Middle School, I have been able to bring back the Ambassadors program in which current students help new students feel successful and welcome. I work regularly with Multi-Tiered System of Supports teams, a caseload of 504 students, students navigating their career pathways, and other staff members to ensure each student’s success. Regularly, I am the coordinator for external resource systems such as Community College and Township Mental Health Board to work with our students who may qualify for extra support.

​

As you can see from these examples, my constant search for and desire to explore new ideas about counseling students will help me contribute to the prestige of your District.

​

I look forward to hearing more from you about the position. I may be reached at Number and Address. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration of my application.

​

Sincerely,
Name
